Gizmautism, frazzing, testosteratio — these are the words we'll use in the New Language ('cause we don't need your stinkin' Old Language) when the Valley lifestyle takes over. And this week, you can coin the next generation of words in the Valleywag Valleyspeak contest.

Thanks for screensucking! That's Dr. Edward M. Hallowell's name for "wasting time engaging with any screen." Hallowell's named ineffective multitasking as well: "frazzing" is that thing you do with your Blackberry, non-fat latte, and exercycle in the Google hallway.

Another reminder that we're still waiting for a reader to send us a camera phone picture of George Clooney; we'd love to unload these copies of Ocean's 11 and Ocean's 12 on a winner. Instead, as we sat and stared at our inbox yesterday, praying for a citizen paparazzo to heed our call, we got the following:

Contest: Stalk George Clooney, Win a Prize!

According to today's Page Six, George Clooney reportedly sent an email (via his publicist, because this is really all about the publicists) asking all of the good-hearted flacks of this world to flood our inbox with as many fake sightings as possible, so that Gawker Stalker would be rendered useless. Charming, seeing as we never thought the feature was particularly useful to begin with. The moment we become useful, we've lost sight of what we're all about — glorious, time-sucking impracticality.

Gorgeous Google Gals: Jen Ingalls vs. Kate Burns

A surprise challenger steps in from the UK: How could we exclude Kate Burns, Google's first international employee? Burns ran Google's Manchester office from Day 1. On a personal note, her biggest inspiration is the Horse Whisperer. Will her whispers drown out all the American contestants in the Gorgeous Google Gals?

The first of these Google ladies is perfect for international sales — she just loves to travel the world. The second is one of those wonderful Google bloggers — and her host of choice, of course, is Blogger.
